Question

Design Memo: You are tasked to design a 100000 metric tons per annum production plant of PX. The formation of PX is obtained from the following polymerisation reaction and also lead to the formation of wax (by-products). Oxygen is used as an initiator to this reaction at a concentration of 50 ppm by weight 2000C$_2$H$_4$ + O$_2$ ? (C$_2$H$_4$)2000 6C$_2$H$_4$ + O$_2$ ? (C$_2$H$_4$)12 Table 1: Boiling Points of components Components Ethylene Oxygen PX Wax Table 2: Price of components Components Ethylene Oxygen PX Wax (PX) Eq. 1 (Wax) Eq. 2 Boiling Point (°C) -103.7 -183 110 130 Price (Rands) 3587 12660 5781 0 Question 1: Using the heuristics of the destination code, classify the destination of products and impurity of the process based on the boiling point at the atmospheric pressure
